Heart Attack? Gas Symptoms?

[anxietynut2014]

Hello Fellow Anxiety Sufferers,
I am finding myself on this forum tonight due to some upper back and shoulder pain that seemed to feel like my lungs at first, but is now starting to feel like gas, perhaps. I am a 22 year old female and am experiencing no other heart attach symptoms but of course, I used Dr. Google and got myself into this mess now. I keep having these pains in bouts. I will be fine, laying down, ready for bed and all of a sudden the pain will start. It's dull at first, then turns into more. I have noticed that I have some urge to have a BM, so I'm really just thinking it may be some gas. HELP! I'm going crazy right now! I need someone sane to calm me down please!

Welcome @anxietynut2014 to the forum. What you are describing certainly sounds like gas. Have you tried to reduce milk products? This can lead to gas, if you are intolerant or sensitive. I know that when I am close to my period or ovulation that I’m getting problems with milk and have to reduce it order to not run around like a gas balloon.

Thank you for replying! TMI but I had a BM and then the pain went away. It was definitely an odd experience though!

The physical effects of anxiety know no bounds. I went to the doctor after waking up barely able to walk and it turned out to just be an anxiety-induced condition.
